Every revolution starts with the aim to help the poor, but when the poor get it they forget who they were and become the new oppressors. The cycle goes on forever

About This Quote

When it comes to revolutions, this quote could be referring to any kind of change in the status quo. This quote is about the political revolutions in the United States. The phrases “the poor” and “the oppressed” are used in ways that suggest that the American public is not generally well-off or that there are generally many people who are oppressed in this country. However, the next part of the quote suggests that this is just a cycle that will never stop because it always starts with helping the downtrodden and then turning around and oppressing them.
